I am finishing up a few projects for work. This one is Fly A Kite designed by October Afternoon. I love the main print of the girl swinging and the boy playing with his puppy. The coordinating prints make for great contrast with the fun prints in this fabric collection.

You can see the whole quilt here. All of these are free projects you can download here.

I love how this quilt turned out and it is very simple to cut and sew. This is a great quilt design for showcasing a bigger main print.

Look how pretty and vibrant these colors are corals, grays and aquas. This is a stunning collection designed by Emily Taylor called Verona for Riley Blake Designs.

Again this is another quilt I designed and you can download the patterns. They are free.

This fabric collection is called Stars and Stripes designed by Deena Rutter.

The reds and blues are colorful and saturated in color. I am going to have to make me a cute summer picnic blanket. I hear it calling my name.

My daughter Tahmor sent me these cute photos of this darling car seat carrier I made for my new grandbaby girl, Nahla. Riley Blake Designs carries this pattern by Elizabeth Wyatt called the Zippitt Car Seat Canopy.

You can see the cute ruffle from the top view here that goes along the front of the carrier.

It has a zipper up the front. I put a cute ribbon on the zipper pull to make it easier for opening and closing.

You can see the whole view of the car seat cover. It doesn't touch the ground so it won't get dirty. It covers the whole car seat nicely with a few embellishments of ruffles and fabric trim.

It opens in the front with a zipper and you can see the lining is black and cream. I used the fabric line designed by Riley Blake Designs called Lost and Found. The black and white damask is sparkle cotton. It has a little shimmer to the damask.

Another view from the top. I like the convenience of being able to have the front open or closed. The zipper was a great idea.

A little jacket I made for Nahla out of scraps from Delighted! I used to make jackets like this all the time for my girls when they were little. They would wear them with cute skirts I made and then colored stockings and boots with a huge bow or hat on their head. Little girls are so fun to dress.

The next are pictures from our quilt group in November. I know I am a little behind but there are some great quilts that I thought you would like to see.

This is a quilt design by Syd Haglund. She has made one for each of her children. This is for her youngest and is centered around a story her daughter wrote and pictures she drew as a child. It is all about dogs.

The colors are spectacular in this quilt. A lot of the applique is wool.

You can see the letter H to the right of the quilt which is the first letter of her name.

I remember this quilt being designed for a baby and both parents are at school at MIT or some kind of school that has modern buildings and architecture. This quilt was to repr…
